The Masai call the Serengeti "the place where the grass meets the sky." It's a brilliant description, as the most striking feature is the vastness of the terrain.

Yes, there are animals. We were prepared to spot them.
Not that we needed to look very hard. We were warned our first night in camp not to leave our shoes outside the tent or else the hyenas would run off with them.
Once again, I'll let the animal photos speak for themselves.
Here is yet one more beautiful tree, set against open grassland.
Our guide pointed out the leopard lounging there.
These guys (gals, actually) were easier to spot.
And my personal favorite, the underappreciated warthog.
